Advice for managers on mental ill health conditions Talking at an early stage. Use routine management tools to identify and tackle problems or needs. Supporting an employee who is tearful and upset. Managing a person with an ongoing illness. Coping strategies. Advance statements. Guidance and support.
Show support by being available to listen to your employee. If they share their struggle, encourage them to utilize an employee assistance program, use their time-off balances or take personal mental health days as needed.
Be informed. Develop a helpful approach toward the person suffering. Say what you think in a positive way. Encourage the person suffering to seek help when necessary. Express your feelings. Take care of yourself. Solve one problem at a time. Respect your limits and seek help when necessary.
Be clear and concise, stating the specifics of how your mental health problems are impacting your work. The point here is to keep it professional and appropriate--your boss is not a therapist or close friend, so you need to stick to what matter's to the workplace.
If you're living with someone who has a mental health disorder, it is not unusual to experience a range of emotions such as frustration, anger, and sadness. Seeking out individual therapy, couples counseling, and/or family therapy that aims to strengthen your relationship can be immensely helpful during this time.
How to support someone with a mental health problem Talking about mental health. Set time aside with no distractions. Let them share as much or as little as they want to. Don't try to diagnose or second guess their feelings. Keep questions open ended. Talk about self-care. Listen carefully to what they tell you.
